H1-B program is exploited. They are not supposed to be hired unless there aren't Americans who can fill the role. There should be a large fee associated with it.

Sure. But a Friday night massacre isn’t exactly a great policy fix though, n’est-ce pas?

		I'd preface this by saying I'm a not fan of Trump or the direction he is aiming for in general. But when the circumstances are that opportunistic actors have been behaving badly for many years and adjusting to small and medium changes in laws that they see coming, Friday night massacres are exactly what's needed. What would be nice (but unlikely) is a similar health care sea change.

Maybe don't hire new grads if you need experience for the position.

		The point is to highlight the skill gap. There's a reason Wiz was founded Tel Aviv and not Silicon Valley. In a lot of technical subfields, the talent pipeline in the US is dead because of a mix of government, education, and (yes) personal apathy,

Then you go headquarter your business and live in Tel Aviv. This situation is untenable.

		That's what's steadily happening, and why the pipeline crisis in cybersecurity and other segments of the tech industry is arising in the US. The US system only worked because the US had the right mix of openness to domestic and foreign capital and talent. A lot of people on HN and in our industry in the US need to recognize that they are competing in a global market, and need to upskill accordingly. Just having a CS degree and knowing Leetcode isn't enough, and I'm not going to pay $150k base for an MLE who only knows how to use PyTorch wrappers and basic math, but little-to-no CUDA or Infiniband background, or for a new grad SWE to work on a CNAPP if they don't understand how eBPF and LSMs work. And no, it is not our responsibility as businesses to incubate that talent if American admins are not helping us (though I shouted myself hoarse about this when I used to be in that space). Everything has become hyper-politicized in the US now, and that is not the kind of environment any business can operate in.
